The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Who Caused Trouble Is Too Alluring

Chapter 84 It turns out to be an old friend

"I'll do mental arithmetic, I don't know how to use this thing." Xueqing sighed helplessly, she doesn't know abacus at all.

mental arithmetic! !
As soon as the word came out, everyone in the room was stunned. Arithmetic is already extremely difficult to learn, not to mention mental arithmetic, which is even more difficult.

Xueqing herself doesn't care much about it. In modern times, the subject she has learned best is mathematics. She has participated in countless mathematics competitions since she was a child, and ordinary mental arithmetic is even easier.

"Please ask questions."

What a big breath! !

Everyone present looked at Xueqing as if they were looking at a monster, wanting to see how this arrogant young man would make a fool of himself.

Surprise flashed across the purple-robed man's eyes, and then his eyes were tinged with joy. He recalled that there was a woman who once told him in such a helpless tone that she didn't know how to use abacus.

"There are three questions here, which were set by the owner of Wangjiang when he built this building. The owner left a message that anyone who can answer these questions will have an unexpected gift."

After finishing speaking, he hung the long scroll in his hand high in the hall, "No one has solved these three problems for many years. Today, Mr. Ouyang is very talented, so he took this problem out of the treasure building. Everyone present today Anyone who can answer one of the questions can get the unexpected gift promised by the landlord back then."

Xueqing, on the other hand, became very interested in this topic, and when she saw the topic unfold, she was taken aback.
"Nowadays there are objects that do not know how to number them. When counting three or three, there are two left, when counting five or five, three are left, and when counting seven or seven, there are two left. How many objects are there?"

"Today, there is one rooster, worth five coins; one hen, worth three coins; three chickens, worth one coin. If you buy a hundred chickens for a hundred dollars, ask the rooster about the size of the hens and chicks."

"Today there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage. There are 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom. How many are the chickens and rabbits?"

No wonder Xueqing was surprised, this question is indeed too helpless, anyone who has studied mathematics has seen these three questions, two of them are from "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics" and the other is the famous [Nine Chapters on Arithmetic].

The dynasty Xueqing here can be sure that it does not belong to any one in the history of China, so why did these three questions appear? Xueqing was already very strange about the decoration style here, but now seeing these three questions, she is basically sure , this must have been contrived by a certain time-traveling senior.

The purple-robed man watched Xueqing staring at the three questions motionlessly, thinking that he couldn't answer them, "Don't worry, Mr. Ouyang, this question is extremely difficult, and it's nothing if you can't answer it."

After all, not everyone is that person, the purple-robed man smiled wryly.

"It's not a difficult question."

Xueqing smiled slightly, and said lightly, since Senior Time Traveler was here, he was curious what gift she would leave her.

Hearing that everyone in the venue opened their mouths in surprise, these three questions are extremely difficult, even one of them is not easy to answer, let alone three questions.

"What?" The purple-robed man didn't seem to believe it, "Sir, please don't joke."

"This question is really not difficult."

Xueqing had no choice but to emphasize again.

"Then let Mr. Ouyang answer."

Xue Qing cupped her hands slightly, "If I can answer the question, I would like to ask you to answer the next question." She wants to know who this senior is?
"can."

The purple-robed man gave the answer after slightly considering it.

"Okay then, get a pen and paper."

Hearing that a maid had brought up the banknotes that had been prepared, Xueqing smiled, picked up a pen and wrote the answer on the paper.

In the blink of an eye, three eye-catching answers appeared on the paper. Xue Qing put the answers in the hands of the maid, "My lord, please check the answers."

The purple-robed man took the answer, and took out the paper with the correct answer in his hand to compare them one by one, his expression changed drastically.

"Come here, please invite Mr. Ouyang to go upstairs. This is the end of today's competition." Before everyone could react, the man in purple robe directly issued the order to evict the guest.

Xueqing also hesitated for a moment, after all, she didn't know this person, what would she do if he left alone if he wanted to deal with her?
"My lord, I'm sorry, my companion is still waiting for me outside, I'm afraid I won't be able to chat with you anymore."

Unexpectedly, the man in purple robe immediately ordered downstairs, "Hurry up and invite Mr. Ouyang's friends in."

As soon as the words fell, a young servant ran out of the door first, and after a while, Xi and Xiuwen were brought in. Xi saw Xue Qing carefully sized her up and saw that she was fine, so she breathed a sigh of relief .

"Qinger, how is the competition going?" Xi asked softly beside Xueqing.

"It's not bad, that young master wants me to gather upstairs, you and Xiuwen are waiting for me here." Seeing the two of them, Xue Qing felt a lot more at ease.

"Young Master Ouyang, please come with me." The purple-robed man seemed very excited, and hurriedly led Xueqing into the private room.

"Please!"

Xue Qing smiled slightly, and then walked in. The decoration of this room is not as luxurious as the outside, but extremely elegant. How can it be that the few seasonal flowers by the window add to the decoration of this room? A bit of vitality, with a picture of wintersweet hanging on the wall, it is more suitable to say that this place is not so much a private room as a woman's boudoir.

"I don't know what the son's name is?"

"Gu Huanzhi."

The purple-robed man looked at Xueqing with some scrutiny, but Xueqing felt that he was looking at another person through himself.

"Young Master Gu, I don't know what's the point of coming down here?" Xue Qing didn't want to play charades with him, so she asked straightforwardly.

Gu Huanzhi smiled slightly, but said helplessly, "To be honest, this Wangjiang Tower was built by Mrs. Xia."

This Xueqing didn't expect it, so it means that this lady is that senior.

"Then may I ask where your Madam is, I have some questions to ask."

Hearing that the purple-robed man's eyes showed a trace of indelible sadness, "She passed away three years ago."

Xueqing didn't expect it to be like this, and felt regretful, she thought that she would be able to meet familiar people in this world, but she didn't expect this to be the result.

"Master Gu, please mourn."

Gu Hengzhi was not overly sad, he shook his head slightly, "She was very peaceful when she left, she said she was very happy."

"I asked the girl to come up this time because I have something to ask."

Xueqing was startled, he called her a girl, maybe he had discovered her identity, but he was obviously very careful, what was wrong with him?

"What did Mr. Gu say? What's the matter with a man who is seven feet tall, girl?"

"Why are you lying, girl? I've never heard of a man with pierced ears. Besides, the girl's throat is round and smooth, and there is no Adam's apple."

One sentence exposed Xueqing's loopholes one by one.

"Mr. Gu has good eyesight. I don't know what you want me to do for you?" Although her identity was exposed, Xue Qing was not angry. One reason was that she was wearing men's clothing for the convenience of going out, and the other reason was that he really didn't look like a bad person.

Gu Hengzhi took out a thread-bound booklet from a drawer in the house and handed it to Xueqing, "This was written by her back then, but I couldn't translate the content at all. Yun'er once said that if someone could After solving the three questions, I handed this to her. I waited for three years, and it finally arrived."

Xueqing took the booklet and opened the first page inside and couldn't help laughing. The big English characters that caught her eyes read, 【happyeveryday.

It seems that this senior is also a person of the 21st century.

Further down, there are some daily events recorded in simplified characters. This booklet is like a diary of hers.

"Can the girl understand?"

Gu Heng asked nervously.

Xueqing nodded, "Understandable, this book is Madam's handwriting, which records the details of Madam's daily life, I can help Mr. Gu translate the contents inside."

"Thank you, girl." Gu Hengzhi cupped his hands gratefully at Xueqing. This booklet meant a lot to him.

"Young lady, I will keep it in my heart. This is the letter Yun'er wrote when she left. If she meets someone who is destined, she will give this Wangjiang Tower to her. It can be regarded as an old friend, although I don't understand that she is here. What to say, but since it is her wish, I will fulfill it."

Gu Hengzhi handed over a white envelope.

Xueqing opened the letter, and it was still written in simplified characters: If you are reading the letter now, and you happen to understand it.

Then I can only say, what a coincidence, we all crossed over.

If my guess is correct, you have already answered the three questions I asked correctly. Since you also like mathematics, then I believe it is right to hand over this Wangjiang Tower to you.

This guy Hengzhi can be stupid, so how can he manage these things?

In Shengjing, I still have a brothel on the West Street. I have already told Hengzhi that I will give you these two things when I treat people who are destined for Taoism.

You don't have to be polite to me anymore, these things are all external things, not to mention that I was playing with them when I was bored. After I left, I didn't want this place to decline day by day, so I handed it over to you.

I just want you to promise me two things. First, run this place well.Second, all the girls I opened in the brothel were from poor backgrounds, you must not force them.

As you promise, these two places will belong to you from now on.

By the way, my name is Yunning, you can also call me Yuner. "

The pen at the end is chic and vigorous, not like a woman at all.

After reading this short letter, Xueqing couldn't regain her senses for a long time.

What kind of dramatic ending is this, just like this, I got two shops?
"Girl, are you okay?" Gu Hengzhi frowned slightly seeing Xueqing's surprised look.

"Uh, it's okay, I'm just too surprised." Xueqing said truthfully.Anyone who is suddenly told that they have two more properties will be shocked.

"You really look like Yun'er in this way, I remember Yun'er is always surprised like this every time." Gu Hengzhi smiled.

"Well, Mr. Gu, I can't accept this place. This gift is too expensive." Xue Qing has always been a person who doesn't get rewarded for nothing, and this gift is indeed too big.

"Hehe, Miss Ouyang, you don't have to be polite. I think Yun'er made it very clear in her letter. I'm not good at managing this kind of business, and it's true that Yun'er stayed here, so I can't let it go, so I leave it to you to take care of it." the best choice."

Gu Hengzhi's attitude does not seem to be fake, Xue Qing pondered slightly: "Since the young master said so, how about this? I will manage these two places in the future, and they still belong to Mr. Gu?"

This is equivalent to Xueqing working for him, helping him manage the company, and he, the chairman, just needs to be the boss behind the scenes.

"This..." Gu Hengzhi nodded after thinking about it for a while, "Then let's follow Miss Ouyang."

"By the way, this is my token. If you have anything to do in the future, just bring it to me." Gu Hengzhi escaped from his arms and handed it to Xueqing.

Xueqing also thanked her and accepted the jade pendant.

After all, she's new here, and it's always easy to have a friend.

Until now, Xueqing hadn't asked about Gu Hengzhi's identity, because in her opinion, he was nothing more than a local nobleman, but she almost dropped her jaw when she found out later.
